About Canberra

Canberra is a residential town and a planning area situated in the Northern part of Singapore between Yishun and Sembawang HDB towns. The significant development history of Canberra dates back to about 10 years ago following the opening up of the land for development of housing units by the Singapore government.

Until 2012, the number of landed homes in Canberra was low. In 2012, Canberra saw the launching of several ECs and private condos. By 2013 the number of housing units shot higher following the release of about 2453 in four projects.

According to the government plans, Canberra residents have a reason to smile because a bright future awaits them with several initiatives on the table. Furthermore, most of these big-budget plans are set to improve property value in the region. Let’s look at some of the amenities that residents of Canberra will benefit from.
